The battery of my HP laptop it is dying. It only has one year, and is already out of warranty.

I saw the original costs around 150 €. I don't feel like spending so much. So I thought about bying a battery supported, and I saw a Duracell one for 30€. The price difference is huge, but I'm afraid to have problems.

Someone here exchanged the battery for a non original one? Any problem? I've read it can explode...but I also read it won't be any problem. So I don't know what to do.

Typically computers come with a three year warranty, the fine line is batteries only come with a year warranty. Your best bet is to try writing a letter to see if you could get a free one. Somebody may feel sympathy. Depends what country you're in too.

I had a printer HP and gave a lot of problems too. The laptop gave some minor problems from the beginning. But I'm surprised by the battery thing because i don't use it much . Maybe one or 2 hours per day. We have another laptop at home, it has a few years and never gave a single problem.
